At the Ripley's Believe it or Not! museum – easily recognized by the massive shark sculpture poking out from the front facade – you'll find oddities from around the world. Authentic shrunken heads, two-headed animals and more than 500 other mind-bending exhibits wait for you in the site's 12 themed galleries. You can also visit the museum's Impossible LaseRace and the Marvelous Mirror Maze.

But recent visitors were torn on whether you really need to see Ripley's to believe it. Some say it's extremely entertaining, but others cite the attraction as place for tourists and complain that the prices are a bit high. Still, reviewers recommend the attraction if you're traveling with kids and need a break from the heat or the rain.

You can't miss spotting Ripley's along the Ocean City Boardwalk, just north of Trimper's Rides and Amusements. During the winter, the museum is open every day from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; during the summer, it's open from 9 a.m. to midnight. Admission is $15.99 for adults and $9.99 for children ages 4 to 11. If you are interested in more than one attraction, you can save yourself a couple extra bucks by purchasing combo tickets. For more information, check out the Ripley's Believe it or Not! website.
